Doom 3. Is it worth it?

[Multidirectional]

It's very VERY similar. In fact, I would go as far as to say that there's no difference at all. EFBB ran just as sloppily for me as the other id Tech 4-engine games.

Maybe you used shader 2.0+ setting? It cut's FPS in half and is bugged so it's not worth it as it only adds soft shadows. I remember playing Chronicles of Riddick maxed out (shader 1.1) on my old Geforce 4 Ti, while Doom 3 and Quake 4 ran terribly on medium settings with that card.

I played the Demo for Doom 3 and that was about enough for me of that game. Yet I'm considering buying Doom 3 if I can get it for cheap enough. "Why?" you ask.

Because of The Dark Mod. It is a total conversion, including level editor, to make Doom 3 into the spiritual successor to the Thief series. Finally shadows make sense and are useful.
